B-52 Bernanke was back in front of Congress Tuesday and Wednesday testifying in front of the House Financial Services Committee. You know it's been a long day when Representative Maxine Waters starts to make sense, and very un-true to form, her question is almost comprehensible in the above clip.
After the jump we have Congressman Ron Paul asking B-52 what it would take for him to realize that his approach to solving the crisis were in fact incorrect. Bernanke mumbles something about data points and deftly avoids the question. Paul and Brad Sherman both make mention of the Fed's $10 trillion in bailout committments and wonder why they haven't helped. B-52 just smiles and mentions the special bailout arsenal he keeps in his office: the Federal Reserve printing press and a tattered paperback copy of 'How to Lose Friends and Not Influence Anyone.'
I wonder how Bernanke feels about Ron Paul personally. Paul blames the Fed for everything including melamine in moist dog food, so it's always interesting to watch the body language and interplay between these two.
There are 3 more videos inside: 2 from the ever-smiling, fed-loathing Paul including a post-hearing video delivered from his office, as well as the Brad Sherman clip mentioned above. These are the 4 best looks from the two-day hearing.
